COMMENTS FROM THE MOST RECENT JULIA LEVITT DOG TRAINING "BOARD AND TRAIN" GRADUATES

Hi Julia,

It's been a few weeks since Ranger has come home from his
training with you. I just wanted to let people know why we brought Ranger to
you for training and the results from your board and train service.

If you recall, when we adopted Ranger we were his third
home. We wanted this to be his forever home but when he came home with us we
found he had some issues that neither my husband nor I could resolve on our
own.

We wanted to take Ranger on walks but found he was
pulling us all over the yard, no matter what kind of collar we used. Not only did he pull on the leash but he was
distracted by bicycles, joggers, cars, cats. We couldn't have a 95 pound dog
dragging us on the leash -- so that had to be fixed. We couldn't take him to the vet -- too upsetting for him. When we
were working in the kitchen he wouldn't stay out from under our feet or he
would try to sneak off to find the cats.

I am not saying that Ranger isn't a wonderful dog! He
loves people as you found out when you took him to your vet. People loved him
-- coming up to him to pet him. Of course he loved the attention.

Today I take Ranger to the parks to walk and if another
dog surprises him by suddenly coming up behind him, he just turns and looks. No
more interest in joggers or a bike going past. We have also discovered many new
trails where we take slower walks to see if we can spot nature. He is good at slowing down his pace when I
want him to.

Ranger used to "obsess" over the cats. He would
watch and follow them with his eyes
whenever they passed in front of him. It Is still a work in progress, but
having you visit us at the house has
helped immensely. Now we challenge Ranger by doing exercises that refocus his
attention on us instead of the cats.

Ranger used to go a little bit crazy when my husband was
watering the garden -- chasing the hose so Ben couldn't water. Now Ben puts
Ranger in a down/stay and Ranger just watches Ben. Since Ranger loves the hose,
you found his "reward" after walking or learning a new
"job" was to have Ranger sit and you would let him get water from the
hose. It got so that you told us after Ranger's walk he would wait until you
turned on the hose so he could get his "treat". You said that Ranger
learned this on his own, just showing how smart he is.

I would be happy to recommend
you to anyone who is thinking of bringing their dog to you in the future.

Jill and Ben

Hi Julia-

I just wanted to let you know how well Rosie is doing both mentally and physically.

I don't know if you remember but I brought Rosie to work with you as I could not walk her. Rosie would drag me down the street -- down the steps -- in short, I could not control her. I have always known what a sweet dog Rosie is but I have been injured by her pulling me down and I didn't know where to turn. Yes, I brought Rosie to other trainers but they didn't "get" her the way you do. In other words, they were unable to help me. The first time we met, you said to me… "You are a hard sell!" It was true. I could't believe anyone could succeed where others had failed.

What finally convinced me to bring Rosie to you for training was the phone call I had with Matt Wixson. Matt left his phone number at the bottom of his testimonial and we had a long talk about your training. O.K. I decided to take the plunge.

Remember Julia I told you I have never met a perfect dog? Well, I was wrong -- Rosie is now the perfect dog. We walk down the street past other dogs -- no reaction from Rosie. She is calm and relaxed, always staying at my side. Rosie is able to jump into my car and wait for me to ask her to jump out. No more worrying about her running away. Rosie comes when called -- off leash -- and you also taught her to ride in the elevator. I would like to bring Rosie to work and the only way to get to my office is by elevator.

I have noticed so many things about the change in Rosie's behavior but one quality strikes me -- Rosie is always calm and relaxed. Not that I didn't like being with her, but I always had the tension of what was she going to do. Was she going to jump on people? Now she is a pleasure to be around.

I didn't believe you could do it, Julia, but you did it and Rosie and I thank you! (Name withheld at owner's request.)

My
husband and I decided to get a new puppy, Shelby a beagle/lab mix, but we knew
we would have to do training for our 10 year old Malti-Pom Boomer. I was a
broke college student when I got him and have since ignored his bad walking
habits. How bad can a 13-lb dog really pull anyway?

I did a LOT of Googling to find
the best trainer for our new pup and came upon Julia Levitt. She had great
website testimonials and offered a back-to-back weekend puppy
& dog class. A rare but much appreciated combination.

Julia’s class has helped us
streamline our dog training to really focus on eye contact and earning the
dog’s respect. Boomer walks like an absolute DREAM after introducing the prong
collar and “WATCH” technique. Even without the prong collar, he still walks
much better than he did before. Julia is Ann Arbor’s very own Dog Whisperer –
I’m so glad we found her!

My name is Matt Wixson. Julia just trained our 5-1/2 year old Wheaten Terrier, Stella. We took the long route to find Julia. A few years ago I contacted her about training Stella but my wife Sarah and I decided against it at the time. Fast forward to Christmas of 2016. Sarah and I were considering training again with Julia but what convinced me to use her services was my phone call with the owner of a dog Julia recently trained -- Yogi. Yogi's owner Debbie gave her phone number at the bottom of her testimonial and I decided to give her a call. That call decided it for us and we sent Stella to Julia on Christmas Eve!

Our main concerns were walking Stella on a leash, coming when called, and being well behaved when visitors come over. We also have an adorable little daughter Gracie (no bias here) and we wanted to walk Stella next to our stroller when we take Gracie out to parks. Stella has graduated from Julia's training and we are very pleased with the difference in her behavior. Stella is still our lovable sweet Stella (Julia says there is not one person Stella doesn't love!) but she has much better manners. By the way -- Gracie thinks so too! This was absolutely the right decision for our family. As much as Julia trained Stella, she also trained us in how to best respond to Stella and understand her role in our family. We couldn't be more grateful, and would love to discuss our experience at any time

Hi Julia, Just a note to let you know how pleased I am with Pippin's training. Remember I asked you to train her so I could take her on the plane with me when I go to visit my family? I know it seems like a long time ago but it was only two months!

Thanks to you I do take Pippin on the plane and she is so well behaved. Not only does Pippin go everywhere with me but she comes when I call her and has learned to exercise on the treadmill. You taught her how to use the treadmill as walking is very challenging for me in the winter and this has been a good way for Pips to get exercise.

Thanks for everything you have done for Pip and me! Pips was a wonderful companion but now she is a well behaved one too!

My American Eskimo Dog, Leo, is a wonderful and loving dog – who was difficult to walk, lunged at other dogs (and people), and was impossible at the veterinarian’s office. I knew that we needed help. Over the course of four weeks Julia Levitt transformed Leo. When I first brought Leo home I was concerned that he was “too calm” – that he was no longer my Leo! I soon realized that he had become his true – and better – self. He is happier, and I am totally pleased. Julia has taught me how to relate to Leo in a manner which will help him to maintain his calm nature. Thanks so much, Julia, for all of your help for Leo and me!

Renee Anspach

NOTE: Renee was so pleased with Leo's success that she brought her other American Eskimo Dog, Babette, to work with Julia.

Julia, Thank
you for doing such a wonderful job with Babette. She is a little angel, so
well behaved -- and it's amazing how much she has learned! Renee

Ace
is doing great! He's a different dog -- so calm and relaxed in the house
that it took all 3 of us a few days to get used to the "new Ace".
It's so much easier and more fun to walk him now that Emma and I are wearing
him out. And his testing of us has been minimal -- mostly just occasionally
deciding on his own to get up and wander away from his "place" or
barking or whining a bit if he hears something unusual outside -- but nothing
like he used to at every squirrel and bird in the yard. We cannot thank you
enough for your work with him.

Let
me first start by saying that Julia worked a miracle for our dog Buddy, and in
turn for our family of two working adults and two active children. We had
thought that the sort of dramatic behavioral change for dogs that takes place
on shows like "The Dog Whisperer" was more entertainment than reality
television. We could not have been more wrong. Julia transformed
Buddy from an extremely anxious and stressed pet into a calm and confident dog
who is comfortable in his place in our home and our family. We will
forever be grateful.

Buddy joined our home from a shelter
about four months before we hired Julia to help us. Buddy is a sweet,
loving dog who wants to be around people every waking moment. When left
alone, we quickly learned that Buddy would became very anxious, and ultimately
started to become very destructive. He destroyed several crates to
start. After we gave up on crate training Buddy (among other reasons, for
his safety), he would automatically use the bathroom in the house as soon as we
left, and he would run desperately from window to window looking for us until
we returned. While it is flattering to be missed so much by a pet, this
was obviously very unhealthy and stressful behavior. We were very concerned for
Buddy's health and safety.

Before speaking with Julia, we had met and worked with several dog trainers and
behavioralists to address Buddy's problems, or at least reduce their
severity. Unfortunately the recommendations we received from these other
trainers were either impractical or insufficient. After several weeks of
training, we had made little progress in addressing Buddy's issues.
Things were reaching a point where we were concerned that Buddy wasn't going to
be able to continue to live with us unless we were able to come up with a
dramatic change.

When we first spoke with Julia about Buddy and his problems, she reassured us
that these were issues that she had seen often, that she was confident could be
addressed, but that would reqiure an environment that was different from our
home. We were thrilled to hear that there was a possible solution for
Buddy, but wary of the thought of having to "outsource" Buddy to do
it. We had heard from some of the people we met with that this "outsourced"
solution wouldn't work. However, Julia noted that our busy family of two
working adults and two active children was not conducive to addressing Buddy's
problems. If we wanted to really "solve" his anxiety and reduce
his stress, we would need to leave Buddy with Julia for a month. We
agreed to do so.

Julia asked us to come visit Buddy two weeks after dropping him off. We
couldn't believe the changes already in Buddy's behavior. First, Buddy
was fully crate trained. This came as a complete shock. While Julia
had told us she would be crate training Buddy, being able to do so in just two
weeks' time seemed beyond belief. However, there was Buddy, relaxed in
his crate and not panicing at all like he did when with us.

Second, Buddy was not anxious at all. He sat or laid down calmly in his
"place", waiting for his next instruction. To top it off, he
had become an excellent leash walker, and was very obedient while
walking. To say that these changes were dramatic is a gross
understatement. Buddy was the same dog but with a completely new level of
confidence and reassurance.

After visiting, Julia spent another two weeks further perfecting and
solidifying Buddy's skills. She even had time to teach him a few games to
play with the kids.

After four weeks, it was time for Buddy to return home. While Julia had
spent a lot of time with us on the phone and in person during my visit, when
returning Buddy to our home, she took the opportunity to not only train Buddy,
but to train all of us too. She taught us the importance of providing a
calm and reassuring space for Buddy, as well as what to do when things went
wrong. She worked with each of us (including the kids) for all of this
and more,

The big question of course was "would it stick?" Would all of
the "tricks" that Buddy had learned in Julia's care transfer to our
home? Thankfully, the answer had been a resounding YES. Buddy has
no problem being in his crate while we are out of the house. He is calm
and confident not only when we are gone, but when we are home too. While
he was always eager to please, he (and we) have learned how to channel that
desire into the types of behavior that make him a valued family member -- one
that we all love being with, and look forward to seeing when we return home.
Julia's transformation of Buddy has been that dramatic change that we needed
for him to succeed in our home.

Yogi and Debbie

We wanted to get another puppy because our Golden passed
away at 13 years old. However, we had a 2 1/2-year-old dog (Yogi).

How should I say this? Yogi had no manners, and in order
to bring another dog into our home we would have to train Yogi. My work schedule
along with two teenagers didn't leave me much time for training. I was about to
give up on bringing another puppy into our home when I remembered a personal
friend telling me that she had her dog trained for a month from some awesome
trainer. I called her up to ask for the trainer's name and contact information.
Julia Levitt from In Harmony Dog Training in Ann Arbor. My first question to my
friend was "How is your dog doing now?" I knew it had been a long
time since her dog was trained. She told me he was doing great. She told me that I would be thrilled with Julia -- that
she is "the real deal".

I contacted Julia and told her all about Yogi's bad
behaviors. Julia told me that it was nothing she couldn't fix. I was shocked
because I have been longing for guidance without criticism or judgment. I
instantly liked Julia on the phone. She has a calming and reassuring tone. I
couldn't wait to meet her in person. After meeting with Julia and listening to
her we decided to move forward -- to turn Yogi over to her for 30 days to see if
her experience (I call it magic) would work with Yogi.

Yogi issues before Julia

1. I would have to
cross the street whenever people or dogs were coming toward us.

2. Yogi would bark
at people who came over.

3. Yogi would jump
on people who came over. (He is big so that was a huge issue).

4. He won't stay
when told to stay.

5. He would chase
our cats.

He was like a defiant toddler.

After Julia

1. Yogi and I walk
great together with people coming toward us. We avoided crowded areas. I am
happy to say that we have been to Zingerman's downtown and he did great. I am
so proud of him.

2. Yogi looks at
me to see if he should bark or if he tries to bark I can immediately stop the
behavior.

3. Yogi stays
sitting or lying down when someone walks in until we tell him it's OK to get
up.

4. The cats he
ignores. He has even begun touching
noses with them.

5. Yogi stays even
when our puppy is barking for his food. He does not break until he is released.

These are only a few behaviors that Julia helped us with.
I never would have believed that Yogi could change. Most importantly that WE
could change. This is a dog I had to put on a vibration collar every day when I
walked him to make him try to listen to me. I think the big lesson that we all
learned during Yogi's 30 days with Julia and our family going over once a week
was that Julia never raised her voice. I wondered how Yogi could hear her. I am
thrilled to share that we do not use that fearful tone of Leave It, Don't do
That, No, Wrong, etc. He has learned to
pay attention to us as a family. He is focused on us and we are focused on him
-- not on all the chaos that we used to focus on. Julia's calm assertive technique
is now part of our daily life. We now have our dog trained and we are all
calmer. I have called Julia an Angel and I mean it. She worked a miracle with
our boy. She is the "Real Deal" and she walks her talk. All the time
Julia spends with our family and the handouts for better understanding is part
of her success. Anyone who feels like they have no time, no confidence, no
skills -- I highly recommend Julia and "In Harmony Dog Training." We
have the utmost respect for Julia bringing dogs into her personal home and
transforming them with her family.

Our new puppy loves Yogi's manners as well.

I would be happy to answer any questions you may have,
because I know I sure had a lot of them myself. So proud of The Julia &
Yogi Team.

Hi
Julia-

Just
a quick update on how we’ve been doing so far. When I got home, Bruno and I
went on a long walk from Ashley St. to the Diag and back. He was stellar. When
we were walking up to the Diag, there was a Golden Retriever walking toward us,
trying to get Bruno’s attention, as well as trying to chase squirrels. Bruno
looked over in his direction, and then just kept walking. He was distracted by the
squirrels in the Diag, but he never pulled on the leash.

On
the way home we walked through Nickel’s Arcade and there was a dog in there
who was staring Bruno down. I, nor did Bruno, pay any attention to the dog and
we walked right past it.

I
had a huge smile on my face after both of these great accomplishments. He has
come SO far in just a month. I’m also amazed at how well he follows all of my
commands while we’re out in public.

I
wanted to run up to school for a few hours to get work done, and he went right
into his crate without a fight, and without crying.

This
has been so wonderful!

A
few months ago my sister Kandee and I adopted a five year old St. Bernard.
The longer we had her the worse her behavior became. She would jump on
people, and we couldn't take her for a walk. It was too hard being dragged by a
139 pound dog! It was very difficult to get her into her crate. We
couldn't even open the door as Clementine (we call her “Clem”) would bolt off!
The same was true about a car. She could get in, but don't open the door or out
she'll fly! We didn't know what to do.

My sister was recommended to call Julia and that's what we did.

Julia began training Clem. Julia soon
found that each exercise she taught Clem, and there were quite a few, Clem
learned very quickly. Clem knows how to come when called – even when not on
leash; she knows how to sit; go down; and go into her crate -- which we call her "castle." We are very happy she doesn't go shooting out
the door of the crate into the house, and when we take her for a car ride. In
each exercise Clem was a was a willing and happy "student".

What we found out is that Clem loves to please! When we have her in the
backyard we call her to come, without a leash -- and Clem happily gallops over
to get her reward of petting. We also found that when Clem does something worth
praising, she looks up at us in a loving happy way -- as if to say "Aren't
I great?" Of course we agree she is great!

I remember my sister Kandee asking Julia at the beginning of Clem's training: “Can
Clem become more docile?" Well, Clem is indeed more docile. She is also more happy now -- knowing
what we want her to do, and she is so happy to do everything we ask of her.
We always knew Clem was smart -- but Julia helped us to realize just how
smart she really is.

Snow is our 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever who came to our
lives and filled them with happiness and joy. Snow was the "almost
perfect" dog. She was playful, always close to us, very smart, beautiful.
All that we wanted in our dog. However, since her puppy times she always
"had a crush" for her toys and would guard and try to keep them close to her. At the beginning we found
it funny but with time it grew into a possessive behavior.

This possessive behavior turned into other problems with
Snow trying to bite us and showing aggressiveness towards us in any situation
where we would challenge Snow's "authority". The frequency of those
occurrences increased and we got to a point of total despair for not being able
to live in harmony with this dog that we love so much.

We tried everything you could imagine. Group classes, books,
videos. Nothing worked. We started calling some local trainers and they would
offer a "consultancy" to see Snow a few days a week and let us know
what to do. Not encouraging to even start.

At a point of total panic and frustration and almost when
all hope was gone we discovered Julia. From the very first conversation over
the phone it was clear that she was a "different breed". It was clear
that her first goal and objective was to help us and Snow. She was genuinely
interested in learning and trying to understand what the problem was and how to
help us. After many discussions with her and personal visits to Ann Arbor, a 2
hours drive for us, we decided that our family deserved a chance to be happy
again. Not an easy decision as just the thought of being away from Snow for a
month would make us cry but we convinced ourselves that Snow was going to
Hogwarts, this magical place that would bring harmony back to us.

We saw the evolution week after week. We were part of the
process all of the time as Julia would keep us posted daily. She would call us
or email to discuss the day, send us pictures, and send us articles to read.
She was clearly 100% dedicated to helping Snow and would not measure efforts in
this process. She was just a pleasure to work with.

When Snow came back home we were very apprehensive. Yes, we wanted her behavior to be corrected
but we were afraid that the training would have changed her into a "cold
and non engaged" dog. That was not the case! Snow came back as Snow. She
is still the same dog, she still likes to chew ice, lay down with us on the
floor, loves to be petted while we watch TV, loves to go up on the bed. The
difference, and this is not a small one, is that she does these things now when
and only when WE allow her to do them. We are in control and with that Snow is
a happier dog today and we are a happier family today. Simple things we would
not have fun with in the past, like taking her for a walk, are very happy
moments today.

A month has passed since she came back and things get better
every day. Once in a while she "tests us", exactly like Julia said
she would. Not a problem, we know what to do and within seconds the test is
over, she understands the rules and we continue as a very happy family with our
beloved Snow living in total Harmony with us and now with her new baby sister,
another Golden Retriever, Rusty.

Michelle and Luna Speak

We
are going to travel to Florida this winter and I wanted to be able to walk my
dog Luna downtown, on the beach, at the farmers market and all the other places
I see dogs being walked in the very dog friendly town we will be staying.
The only problem was Luna lacked the confidence to go anywhere, including
just a simple ride in the car. She would whine constantly, was afraid,
and would pull so hard on the leash it wasn’t comfortable to walk with her.

I
did my research and found Julia’s In Harmony Dog Training - after talking and
meeting with Julia, my husband, Steve, and I decided it was worth the
commitment to Luna and her quality of life - and ours. We agreed to send
Luna to Julia’s for training - it was very hard for me to think of being away
from her - the timing made it even more difficult, we had just said
goodbye to our beloved German Shepherd, Willie, due to cancer. It was
extremely hard being away from Luna - more difficult than I expected - but we
stuck with it. It’s one of the best decisions we’ve made.

Julia
always has a dog owner visit their dog after being at her home for one week.
When I received an email from Julia asking me not to come after the first
week (Julia said Luna wasn’t ready) I was very worried and didn’t think I could
follow thru with it but I knew I needed to trust Julia - I’m so glad I did.

When
I was finally able to have the first meeting with Luna and Julia in Julia’s
backyard, I couldn’t believe the transformation in such a short time.
Julia asked me to use the -No talk-No touch-No eye contact form of
training used by Cesar Milan - it was hard because I wanted to hug her and tell
her how much I missed her - Luna calmed down and I was able to have contact -
it was awesome to be able to pet her and be with her again. It was incredible
to see how much Luna would listen and obey commands from Julia. What was
even better was how Julia showed me how to be able to have the same tools,
skills and influence on Luna.

Over
the next couple of weeks we had training sessions with Luna and I always left
so happy to see the progress in Luna but also so sad to leave her. Julia
would give me homework handouts to read - they were very helpful and kept me
focused on our goal. Julia surprised me after one of our sessions when I
was expecting to have to leave Luna again but instead told me she was ready to
go home.

Since
being home Luna is so happy, confident, and calm. We couldn’t be happier!
We take Luna EVERYWHERE with us now and she loves it. She waits for
her commands, enjoys the car rides, and loves to walk in the parks, Kerrytown,
neighborhoods, and anywhere we want to go. When the weather doesn’t
cooperate Luna can walk on our treadmill. Julia came to our house many
times to help us in training Luna - and just as importantly - training us!
The follow-up support Julia gives us is amazing, she’s always just a
phone call away. Luna has been transformed into the dog we dreamed she
could be and we are also more confident and smarter dog owners thanks to Julia
- it was all so worth it in the end, our expectations were met and surpassed!
We are sincerely grateful to Julia.

Hutchins
was never what one would conventionally consider to be a "bad" dog.
He showed no signs of aggression, he was smart, and of course always a very
lovable fur-ball. However, Hutch had a TON of energy and he did not know how to
control it, especially around other people. He was a jumper, a biter
(playfully),and frankly treated his owners like fellow litter-mates!

After
Hutch spent 3 weeks with Julia, not only did he know all of the commands (sit,
stay, place, come, down) but he also wasn't biting or jumping on Julia at all.
It seemed like a miracle! What was even more critical, though, was the training
that occurred after those three weeks...Julia training Hutch's owners (us!). It
took a while but we've now learned how important our energy and discipline is
in the success of Hutch's training. If we weren't willing to change our
overly-lenient and overly-excited and affectionate ways, the changes Julia had
spent time making were not going to stick. Since coming to this realization
(with the help of Julia), we have been so pleasantly surprised with the respect
and loyalty Hutch is treating us with. He really is the perfect pup and we
couldn't thank Julia more for helping bring out the best in Hutch and in us as
dog owners!

We are so pleased with the training our Portuguese Water Dog Mulan received. Our dog was 4 months old when we started looking on the internet for a dog trainer, and that's how we found out about Julia. We met with her and we told her about our puppy's behaviors that we knew needed to be corrected. We wanted to start very soon, but she suggested we wait until Mulan was 6 to 7 months old and that way she would be better able to learn and keep it retained if she was a few months older. We are glad we took her advice to wait on training.

Julia taught Mulan how to have good manners -- not only in our house but when we go for walks. After the training Julia worked with us to get Mulan to be as well behaved with us as she was when Julia trained her.

Now Mulan is a pleasure. When given verbal commands she goes in her crate or her place while we eat, & etc. This makes our life with Mulan a lot easier now that she has learned several verbal commands from Julia. We have taken Mulan on a couple of road trips after her training to visit family in their home and it went so well. I would recommend Julia as a trainer to anyone. She is easy to communicate with and has integrity.

"We adopted our beloved dog from a
shelter and took him to dog training classes for months but walking with him
continued to be absolutely miserable. He lunged and barked every time he
saw another dog; never came when we called him; and went crazy whenever someone
came to our door. We dreamed of being able to run and hike with him but
his behavior was mortifying and got so bad that we started to dread taking him
out in public.

Our dog spent 3 weeks with Julia and
a miracle occurred. Our dog now walks on a leash peacefully, comes when
we call him, and sits on his bed when guests arrive. Other dog owners
have even enviously complimented our dog when we are out running with him.
We were THRILLED to learn from her how we can be in charge and will
forever be grateful that she helped transform our dog from a nightmare to an
absolute delight!"

Julie Hollberg and Tracy Vettese

ONE YEAR FOLLOW-UP

Best behaved dog on the hiking trails!!! You would be so proud. We walked through downtown highlands in North Carolina and he was PERFECT with dogs and in stores and crowds.

"Upon first meeting Julia we were thrilled by the calm assertive presence she brought upon walking into our home. Our puppy Beans was immediately attentive and even sat down in front of her! Julia engages her clients with active listening, calm reassurance and positive feedback ... making you feel as though you can actually accomplish the desired training results. I exuberantly recommend her to anyone regardless of the type of training you need from basic to extreme ... She is wonderful to work with!!!"

Merlis Nolan

Whether it's enjoying your walks together, greeting visitors to your home in a friendly and respectful manner, or peacefulness at meal time -- your dog can do it -- and so can you!
